Chapter 494

In his previous life, Li Guodong read a lot of historical information. Although Yang Sichang was narrow-minded and vengeful, it was absolutely impossible to cheat Lu Xiangsheng on the issue of national justice. Judging from the fact that Yang Sichang assigned Lu Xiangsheng to nearly 40,000 troops, he did not intend to push Lu Xiangsheng to death. Lu Xiangsheng did not receive any food and grass supplies along the way. The only explanation is that Emperor Chongzhen himself wanted to cheat Lu Xiangsheng!

At present, Lu Xiangsheng still has 38,000 troops in his hands. When he arrived at Julu, he transferred 18,000 troops because of Chen Xinjia's fake information. Chen Xinjia is narrow-minded, but he can fabricate false information to harm Lu Xiangsheng, but he has not received any punishment. All of this culprits clearly pointed to Emperor Chongzhen himself.

However, from the inside, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to let Lu Xiangsheng die, but was made by a series of misjudgments.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to be in charge of peace, but he did not dare to say it clearly. When he first entered the court, Lu Xiangsheng, who had a straightforward personality and righteous spirit, said "Subject is in charge of fighting" as a result, was equivalent to revealing Chongzhen's scars.

However, since Emperor Chongzhen sent Gao Qi to implicitly restrain Lu Xiangsheng, this is incomprehensible. To put it rationally, Chongzhen was not wrong with thinking about peace, which was a strategy for the Ming Dynasty at that time. But since he decided to fight, he would fight well. As a result, under the guiding ideology of "wanting to be harmonious and fighting", a commander-level talent like Lu Xiangsheng was ruined in vain. After all, Emperor Chongzhen was a mediocre talent.

If all the Tianxiao soldiers and horses were really handed over to Lu Xiangsheng, the Minister of War, the Ning army, the Tianxiong army and the Qin army, and the three capable troops who can fight, would be no problem to defeat the Qing army, and cooperate with multiple parties.

However, Chongzhen was a narrow-minded person. If you let me lose face, I would make you feel uncomfortable. Without Chongzhen's support, the admiral and eunuch Gao Qiqian would not dare not not support Lu Xiangsheng.

Judging from what happened after Lu Xiangsheng's death in real history, after Lu Xiangsheng's death, not only did he not express his compassion, Chongzhen also instigated Gao Qiqian to falsely accuse Lu Xiangsheng of "fearing the enemy and being defeated even though he was defeated." Instead, he did not pursue Gao Qiqian's behavior of sitting on tens of thousands of Guanning elite troops on the wall.

As for Yang Sichang, he completely took the blame for Emperor Chongzhen and took charge of killing Lu Xiangsheng in history.

Emperor Chongzhen was definitely a foolish monarch who dared not be a fool. After killing Lu Xiangsheng with his own hands, he held the responsibility for the defeat in this battle, killed 36 civil and military ministers, and took the blame for his mistakes. However, Gao Qiqian, who was responsible for the key, was unharmed. Why? Killing Gao Qiqian is equivalent to Emperor Chongzhen slapping himself in the face?

As for Emperor Chongzhen's several self-criticisms, they were issued only when they had no choice.

Let’s look at another important person in charge of this matter. This time, he was not punished for false information. However, a few years later, Chongzhen secretly ordered Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, to discuss with the Qing court. As a result, he was discovered by court officials, Chongzhen killed Chen Xinjia again, saying that he had no idea about this matter and shirked the responsibility completely.

In fact, among the capable ministers who were cheated by Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng was only one of them, including Sun Yuanhua, Zheng Chongjian, Xiong Wencan and Sun Chuanting. These ministers were all capable people and were cut off by Emperor Chongzhen. With such a foolish lord, how could the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?

According to some people's views, Emperor Chongzhen was diligent and frugal, and his dragon robe was patched, and his life was very frugal, so Emperor Chongzhen was a good emperor. Can an emperor be said to be a good emperor just because he ate braised vegetables? Just like a prodigal son who lost all his wealth, and then his family was barely covered, wearing tattered clothes and eating braised vegetables all day long, he could be said to be a capable person? To put it bluntly, even if he changed to Adou to the late Ming Dynasty, he could do better than Chongzhen.

Of course, at this time, Li Guodong must not say such words as "Emperor Chongzhen is a foolish monarch" in front of Lu Xiangsheng. After all, Lu Xiangsheng is loyal and a foolish and loyal person who "the king is called the minister to die, but the minister has to die." Naturally, Li Guodong could not tell him these reasons.

Lu Xiangsheng led 40,000 troops (including more than 3,000 Li Guodong's) to follow the Qing army southward and arrive at Zhending Prefecture.

The 30,000 Guanning Army led by Gao Qiqian had arrived in Zhending first. After all, the Guanning Army was mainly cavalry. After Chen Xinjia led the Guanning Army to rescue Gao Yang, Emperor Chongzhen handed the Guanning Army from Chen Xinjia to Gao Qiqian for command. Gao Qiqian got military information, and the Qing army had already left Zhending and headed south, so he led his army to Zhending. Along the way, he did not encounter a single Qing army, and the 30,000 Guanning Army successfully entered Zhending Prefecture City.

Jize County, this county town has been captured by the Qing army. Since Dorgon's 70,000 main army left the capital, it has successively conquered Hengshui, Wuyi, Zaoqiang, Jize and other counties, and the Bingfeng is directed to Henan. Before Dorgon set out, Huang Taiji had already told him: break through Northern Zhili, and never enter Henan to meet the bandits! Our Qing Dynasty should echo the bandits from afar, so that the bandits can escape danger, but not contact them.

In Shunde Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture and other places, countless people's homes were destroyed and their children's wealth was plundered.

In Jize County, a golden dragon flag was planted on the gate tower. The county town had become a huge barracks. The shouts of Qing soldiers, drinking and punching, and the crying of Han women came from time to time. The corpses that were massacred in the city had been cleaned up. The Qing soldiers drove away the young and strong Han people who were plundered, pulled out the bodies to bury them, and then drove the young and strong Han people into the camp, leaving the Korqin Meng Eight Banners and Han Army Banners guarding them outside.

The spacious county government hall was filled with Qing army generals wearing armors of various colors. They took off their helmets, revealing a large bald head with a small braid hanging on the back of their heads.

Dorgon, the lord of the Zhengbai Banner, sat in the middle. On his left was the lord of the Inlaid White Banner, Duoduo, the lord of the Zhengbai Banner, and on his right was the lord of the Zhenglan Banner, and Doro Raoyu Beile Abatai sat in the seat below.

Abatai is the seventh son of the old slave. Among all the people here, he is the oldest. Dorgon and Duoduo are both his younger brothers, and Haoge is a junior. However, since Tiancong Khan changed the reign of Chongde, the Dajin changed the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji became emperor, Dorgon, Duoduo and Haoge were all given kings, and even Yuetuo was given kings. However, Abatai, a senior figure, still had a bell on his head. Not to mention the prince, the prince had no share in his possession, and he was not even the banner master.

Since Huang Taiji became emperor, the title of Beile has been two levels lower than that of the prince! It would be fine if Haoge was appointed as the king, after all, he is Huang Taiji's son, but what is Yue Tuo? He actually made the king and climbed onto the head of uncle Abatai!

As an old man from the Qing Dynasty, he was naturally extremely dissatisfied with this treatment and was often resistant to Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji became emperor, he rewarded Zhu Beile and appointed Zhu Beile as prince to the prince.

Among the most prominent positions were Daishan, Ajige, Dorgon, Dodo, Yuetuo and others. Although Abatai was forty-eight years old at that time, he was just a Beal, and his seat was below Zhuheshuo Beile. Seeing his brothers and nephews drinking happily, he felt a dull face and depressed.

After returning to the mansion, Abatai couldn't help but complain to his subordinates: "I will not go to the banquet in the future! When I fight, I wear armor and go to the hunting. When I wear a bow and arrow, I will go to the banquet and sit among my children. I feel ashamed."

During my lifetime, my Mongolian relatives came to visit, and Abatai had met with the four major belles. Now that his brothers and nephews have grown up, his status has deteriorated. How can he not complain?
